IV. Recommendation of Requirements for (he year 1920-21: 

1. That the principles adopted by the Board in 1917 for the location 
and development of teacher training departments be waived for next year 
to permit the Inspector to locate training doi)artments in centers which 
have pre^•iously maintaincfl departments and which can secure minimum 
required enrollments of students and provide adequate quarters and train- 
ing facilities. 

2. That the Insjiector of Training Departments be privileged to ac- 
cept, subject to later approval of the State Board of Education, applica- 
tions from schools which can meet requirements for training dei)artments 
at the opening of the school year. 

3. That the State Board of Education wai\e for another year the re- 
quirement for a minimum enrollment of eight students per department 
and continue to make this a matter of administration rather than of re- 
quirement. 

On motion of Mr. Cashman, the rejjort was approved. 

Mr. Selke ijresented the report on consolidated schools, as prepared 
by Mr. Swain. The transportation aid was based on a rate of ten cents per 
child-mile day, as approved by the State Board of Education. 

Osakis, Elbow Lake and Taylors Falls, which were apidicanls for aid 
as consolidated schools were denied such aid, with the provision that 
the same might be granted later to Taylors Falls, if recommended by the 
Inspector. 

In accordance with Chapter 443, .Session Laws of 1919, and the rules 
of the Department, state aid for consolidated schools was recommended, 
as follows:

Whereas, The chief purpose of the public schools of this state

be regularly offered,

PLAN OF CO-OPERATION 

Adopted by the state board for vocational education and the state de- 
partment of labor and industries in regard to the division of re-education 
and placement of persons disabled in industry or otherwise, as required 
by Section 3, Chapter 365, Laws 1919: 

"The state board for vocational education and the department of 
labor and industries, or any agency which may succeed it in the adminis- 
tration or supervision of the Workmen's Compensation Act, shall formu- 
late a plan of cooperation with reference to the work of said division. 
Such plan shall be effective only when approved by the Governor of the 
State." 

133 



Article I. The Board for vocational education agrees to engage 
as director of the division of re-education and placement a person quali- 
fied also as a statistician and compensation law expert. The board further 
agrees to permit the director to serve as chief statistician of the depart- 
ment of labor and industries without salary. 

Art. II. The department of labor and industries agrees to furnish 
the division of re-education and placement with a placement specialist, 
and to pay him a salary which shall be not less than one-half the amount 
paid by the board for vocational education to the director of re-education. 
The placement specialist shall be subject to approval as to personality by 
the board for vocational education. 

Art. III. The department of labor and industries agrees to advise 
the division of re-education and placement promptly of all cases of persons 
coming to its knowledge who have suffered injuries entailing impairment. 
The department also agrees to provide the division of re-education and 
placement transcripts of such information in compensation records as 
may be requested. The department further agrees to make through the 
members of its staff any investigations requested by the division of re- 
education and placement and distribute such printed matter as the division 
may consider a desirable preliminary, provided such cooperative work 
shall be convenient to the regular course of the duties of the department's 
employees. In addition the department will have its factory inspectors 
when they make their regular visits of inspection ascertain what oppor- 
tunities in employment there are for handicapped persons. 

Art. IV. The department of labor and industries agrees that when 
it is consulted in regard to the advisability of a lump sum in compensa- 
tion cases involving permanent impairments it will not take action until 
it has received the advice of the division of re-education and placement. 
The board for vocational education agrees to permit the division of re- 
education and placement to make investigations in such cases. 

Art. V. The board for vocational education agrees that it will re- 
quire of the employees of the division of re-education and placement 
that they be well enough informed on the provisions of the Compensation 
Law regarding medical and hospital treatment and prosthesis to give 
suitable advice to seriously injured persons with whom they make early 
contacts. The board also agrees to permit members of the staff of the 
division of re-education and placement to make investigations requested 
by the department of labor and industries, provided such cooperative 
work shall be convenient to the regular course of their duties. In order to 
give special agents of the division of re-education testimonial powers and 
qualify them to cooperate as just provided, the department of labor and 
industries agrees to appoint such special agents as special agents in its 
service without salary. The board further agrees that the division of re- 
education and placement shall keep such records and supply such informa- 
tion relative to disabled persons as the department of labor and industries 
may desire for the completion of any of its studies on workmen's compen- 
sation or the economic condition of the working classes. 

•134 



Akt. VI. The board for vocational education and the department of 
labor and industries agree in general to cooperate in the work of rehabili- 
tation and to assist each other whenever the service asked is germane to 
the work and not too great an administrative burden. In order to insure 
the harmonious working of this plan of cooperation and in general to advise 
in connection with the policies pursued by the division of re-education 
and placement, an advisory committee is hereby created to consist of the 
commissioner of education and one officer of the department of education 
designated by him and the commissioner of labor and one officer of the 
department of labor and industries designated by him. 

Art. VII. It is further agreed that all salaries and contingent 
expenses incurred in the fulfillment of the terms of this contract by the 
hoard of education shall be paid from the funds appropriated by the legis- 
lature for the purpose of re-education and placement of persons disabled 
in industry or otherwise, and the Federal moneys appropriated by the 
Federal industrial rehabilitation act, Public No. 236, 66th Congress, pro- 
vided that the Board of Education agrees to furnish office room for the 
employees of the division of re-education and placement with no charge 
for the same. 

Art. VIII. This agreement is a revision of the one which took 
effect July 1, 1919. With the consent of the Governor, it may be revised 
at the end of any fiscal year. 

Contracts signed by the Commissioner for re-educational work, to 
September 30, 1920, were presented, and on motion of Mr. Cashman, duly 
approved. 

Mr. Sullivan presented the question of employing an additional 
assistant in the Division of Re-education, whose work should be in Duluth 
and in the Range towns, and whose official residence should be in Duluth. 
On motion of Mr. Cashman, it was voted that such an assistant be employed 
at a salary not to exceed $3,000 per year. On motion of Mrs. Musser, the 
budget for the Re-education Division, as presented at the August meeting, 
was then approved without amendment. 

An appeal was presented by the Commissioner from N. N. Esser on 
the ground that he had been refused a certificate as graded school principal. 
On motion of Mr. Cashman, the action of the Department on refusing to 
grant such certificate was sustained. 

Mr. Tonning presented a report showing the teacher situation with 
reference to certificates in high and graded schools. Mr. Cesander made a 
similar report for the rural schools. 

Mr. Phillips reported for the State Aid Committee that the report was 
in course of printing and would presently be ready for distribution. 

On motion of Mr. Boraas, the Commissioner was authorized to have 
bulletins prepared from the State Aid Report relating to special subjects 
therein, such as The Library, Part-time Education, etc. 

The Commissioner presented the question, for consideration, of the 
Board's policy relative to the Board's requirement for the professional 
training of teachers. A discussion followed, but no action was taken. 

135 



The Board then took up the preparation of estimates to be included 
in the Legislative Budget for the ensuing biennium. A tentative agreement 
was reached relative to the amounts that should be included for present 
employes and those who might be added. 

On motion of Mr. Boraas, a Legislative Committee, consisting of 
President Willard and Mr. Cashman, was appointed. 

Mrs. Phelps of Litchfield appeared before the Board with a request 
that her daugher Jane, whose intelligence quotient, as the result of a mental 
test, showed less than fifty per cent, as required by the rules of the Board, 
be admitted to the Class for Defectives in the Litchfield schools. 

On motion of Mr. Hunt, it was voted that on receipt of the recommen- 
dation of Dr. Sedgwick and Miss Dealy, who were reported as having 
given the physical and mental tests respectively, and also on receipt of an 
outline of special treatment, that an exception be made in this partiuclar 
case, and that she be admitted to the class on trial for the remainder of the 
school year. 

The Board adjourned to meet during the first week of November for 
the final consideration of the budget and other business that might appear.

sion of re-education and placement promptly of all cases of persons 
coming to its knowledge who have suffered injuries entailing impair- 
ment. The Commission also agrees to provicle the division of re-educa- 
tion and placement with reports of such information in compensation 
records as may be requested. The Commission further agrees to make 
through the memlicrs of its staff any investigations requested by the 
division of re-education and placement a|^d distribute such printed mat- 
ter as the division may consider a desirable preliminary, provided such 
cooperative work shall be convenient to the regular course of the duties 
of the Commission's employees. In addition the Commission will have 
its factory inspectors when they make their regular visits of inspection 
ascertain what opportunities in employment there are for handicapped 
persons. 

Article III. The Industrial Commission agrees that when it has 
before it for consideration the advisability of a lump sum in compen-

early contacts. The Board also agrees to permit members of the staff 
of the division of re-education and placement to make investigations re- 
quested by the Industrial Commission, provided such cooperative work 
shall be convenient to the regular course of their duties. 

The Board further agrees that the division of re-education and place- 
ment shall keep such records and supply such information relative to 
disabled persons as the Industrial Commission may desire for the com- 
pletion of any of its studies on workmen's compensation or the economic 
condition of the working classes. The Board further agrees that the 
division of re-education and placement shall notify the Commission 
promptly of any disabled persons subject to tlie compensation act who 
have been approved for training.

which will be required of the Industrial Commission by the foregoing

division of re-education and placement in the Commission's employ- 
ment offices in Saint Paul and Minneapolis, and with the further desire

IV. Recommendation of Requirements for the Year 1921-22: 

I would again request that the State Board waive for next year its 
regulations relative to the location and development of training depart- 
ments and permit the Inspector to locate training departments in centers 
which have previously maintained departments which can secure the 
minimum enrollment of students and provide adequate quarters and train- 
ing facilities. 

I would also suggest that the Inspector be privileged to accept, sub- 
ject to later approval by the State Board of Education, applications from 
schools which can meet the requirements for training departments at the 
opening of the coming school year. 

It would be advisable also to waive for another year the require- 
ments for a minimum enrollment of eight student? per department and 
continue to make this a matter of administration raiher than of regula- 
tion. By the opening of the year 1922-23 enrollments in training depart- 
ments should warrant a return to standards. 



On motion of Mr. Cashman the report was accepted and recommen- 
dations approved. 

Mr. Selke. Inspector of Rural Schools, presented the report on con- 
solidated schools, as follows:

Wlu'reas, in the judgment of this Board, the most pressing problem 
in education in Minnesota is the supplying of adequately trained 
teachers for rural schools, to the end that children in rural schools 
may be as well taught as those in other schools of the state, and 

Wliereas, the solution of this problem depends both upon the 
standards set for the rural school teachers and the demands of the 
communities of the state, as well as upon the teacher training facilities 
of the State Teachers Colleges, 

Now, therefore, Be it Resolved: 

That this Board declares itself in favor of whatever development 
and expansion of the teacher training facilities under Its control may 
be desirable in order to provide for the rural schools an adequate 
supply of properly trained teachers, and 

That the Secretary of this Board transmit a copy of these resolu- 
tions to the State Board of Education and convey to that Board the 
assurance that the Teachers College Board stands ready to cooperate 
with the State Board of Education in working out the best possible 
program for the training of such additional and better qualified 
teachers as that Board and the State Board of Education may deter- 
mine to be needed. 

The Secretary was directed to acknowledge receipt of the resolu- 
tion and to express the appreciation of the Board. 

On motion the Board adjourned.

Principles governing approval of applicants for re-education were 
presented by Mr. Sullivan, and on motion of Mr. Boraas, approved. 

(Statutory definition of those who are eligible: 
"Persons whose capacity to earn a living has in any way 
been destroyed or impaired through industrial accident 
or otherwise; provided that at the time when the acci- 
dent or disability was incurred they were residents or cit- 
zens of the State of Minnesota.") 
I. Three essentials to establish eligibilitj' are clearly required by law: 

1. A permanent physical impairment. 

2. A vocational handicap caused by the permanent physi- 

cal impairment. 

3. Residence or citizenship in the State of Minnesota at the 

time of the occurrence of the disability. To this an ex- 
ception must be noted, that the Federal Law permits the 
Division through the use of federal funds to re-educate 
persons who are now citizens of Minnesota and have re- 
ceived their disability elsewhere. 



222 



II. A vocational handicap as required under "2" above will be con- 
sidered to exist when there is evidence to support any of the fol- 
lowing conditions: 

A. Inability to pursue former occupation, or any occupa- 
tion v/ithout special training. 

B. Inability to pursue former occupation except at a de- 
crease in efficiency and consequent material reduction in 
remuneration as compared with that previously received, 
or inability to pursue another occupation except at a ma- 
terially lower remuneration. 

C. Probability of more frequent periods of unemploj-iment in 
former occupation, through decreased efficiency resulting 
in earlier lay-offs at slack times, discrimination in re-em- 
ployment, and the like. 

D. Existence of unusual hazard of incurring further or total 
permanent disability if former occupation is continued, 
e.g. a man who has lost one eye continuing in an occupa- 
tion where there is a high degree of danger of eye acci- 
dents. 

Mr. Challman presented and discussed the report on Classes for 
the Blind made by Mr. R. B. Irwin and the proposals made by the 
State Com,mission on the Blind.

was approved and ordered printed and distributed. 

On motion of Mr. Willard, the Board approved the recommendation 
, that the purpose of state examinations for pupils be defined and the 
rules governing them be amended as follows: 

The State Board Examinations for pupils are of value as 
an important means of standardization and supervision of the 
work of the schools and of measuring achievement in subject 
matter. 

1. Instead of the issuance of certificates to individual pupils as 
heretofore, the original class lists, with the grade of the State 
Examiner, shall be filed in the Department of Education, as 
heretofore, and a duplicate copy shall be returned: 

a. To the county superintendent for the ungraded elementary 
schools of the county. 

b. To graded elementary schools, high schools and high school 
departments. 

c. To private schools in which the examinations are given. 

2. Papers shall be marked pass or fail, and the pass mark shall 
represent a grade of at least 75%. 

3. Beginning with the school year 1924-25, the March examina- 
tions shall be given in ungraded elementary schools only. 

On motion of Mr. Hunt, the Board approved the recommendation 
that for the purpose of timely consideration and revision of courses of 
study and for the purpose of basing the State Examinations for Pupils 
on the courses of study, and analyzing the results of the examinations, 
standing committees he provided for high schools and elementary 
schools, essentially as follows: 

High Schools: 

1. A general or executive committee of eleven, with chairman a 
member of this Department and other members chosen by the Commis- 
sioner from among Minnesota teachers and educators, each with special 
reference to fitness to serve effectively in a particular subject field of 
high school education. (In so far as the Department has special super- 
visors in any field, such supervisors would be desirable members of this 
executive committee.) 

2&8 



2. Provision for two regular meetings each year of this executive 
committee, sessions to be of sufficient length to permit of deliberate con- 
sideration of (a) all questions relating to revision of high school syllabi 
and (b) all matters relating to the preparation of State Board examina- 
tions. 

3. Provision for sub-committees of three or more members for 
each high school subject field, with a member of the executive commit- 
tee in each case acting as chairman of such sub-committee, and the sub- 
committee membership to be nominated in each case by the entire execu- 
tive committee and appointed by the Commissioner. 

4. A plan to be devised by the executive committee for a thor- 
ough and purposeful study each year of the returns from the State 
Board examinations. 

E^lementary Schools: 

A plan similar to high schools, with size of committees as may 
appear necessary. 

Support: 

The work undertaken shall be limited by the funds available from 
year to year. 

On motion of Mrs. Musser, the following recommendation was ap- 
proved by the Board: 

Special teachers or directors of physical education shall be certified 
on the basis of two years of special training in an approved institution, 
and such special training may be incorporated in a four-year degree 
course. 

On motion of Mr. Cashman, the Board approved the recommenda- 
tion that the requirements for the superintendency of a state high school 
should be amended to read as follows: 

1. A first grade professional certificate. 

2. Twenty-one semester hours of professional training, of which 
at least twelve semester hours shall be in school administration and 
supervision. 

(This requirement will be in effect beginning with the school year 
1926-27.) 

3. Two years of public school experience in a position in which he 
has devoted at least one-fourth of each school day to visitation and 
supervision of the elementary grades. Provided that this requirement 
shall not be applicable in a school system which employs one or more 
full-time supervisors of elementary grades. 

Standards relating to credit toward high school graduation were 
approved by the Board for recommendation to the schools as follows: 

1. Shorthand and typewriting should constitute a unit credit 
course; that is, no credit toward high school graduation should be 
granted for either one separately. 

2. Public speaking, elocution, dramatic art, debate, journalism, 
business English, penmanship and spelling, and all other differentiated 
phases of English training should be looked upon as parts of the four- 
year English course, and should not be granted separate credit toward 
high school graduation. 

3. Physical education and athletic activities should not carry 
credit toward high school graduation. 

259 



4. Library training should not be considered for separate high 
school credit, but should be made a part of the four-year English course. 

5. Music and art should be counted toward high school gradua- 
tion, only when: 

a. The subject is taught by a properly qualified and certi- 

ficated teacher of public school music or art employed 
by the school board. 

b. Due consideration is given to the effort and achievement of 

the pupil. 

c. The time element is on the same basis as for other high 

school credits. 

6. The time element is essential in determining high school credit. 
Therefore, whether instruction is given in private or public summer 
schools, or elsewhere, to ignore the time element in the granting of 
credits for work, other than review work, is destructive of high school 
standards. 

7. Credits from private schools, which have been inspected and 
accredited by the University of Minnesota, should be accepted by ac- 
credited public schools, except that credit for religious instruction can- 
not be so accepted. This exception is established in law by opinion of 
the Attorney General. 

On motion, the Board adjourned.

Secretary.

The State Board of Education held its quarterly meeting in the 
Conference Room of the Department of Education at 10:00 A. M., on 
Monday, September 13, 192 6, as required by the rules of the Board. 
All members were present, as follows: Mrs. R. D. Musser, President; 
Mr. Julius Boraas, Mr. Thomas E. Cashman, Mr. J. W. Hunt and Mr. 
W. D. Willard. 

The minutes of the annual meeting of August 3d were approved 
as printed. 

The Commissioner's Report for the quarter ending September 30,

On recommendation of the Commissioner and motion of Mr. Cash- 
man the following trips outside the state during the next three months 
were authorized:

Atlantic City, N. J., October 4-9, at a cost not to 

exceed $160.00

The Commissioner reported that the claims for aid to public school 
libraries for the school year ending July 31, 192 6. amounted to ap- 
proximately $52,000. The amount available being $30,193.72, it will 
be necessary to prorate this aid at 58 per cent. 

On motion of Mr. Boraas, the Commissioner was authorized to dis- 
tribute the annual aid to public school libraries, as provided by law, 
on this basis of prorating. 

On motion of Mr. Willard, the Commissioner was authorized to 
prepare and present to the Governor the Fourth Biennial Report of

the semi-annual distribution of the Endowment and Current School 
Funds, as provided by Sections 3023 and 3024, G. S. 1923, on the basis 
of not less than $4.00 per pupil. 

The amount of money appropriated by the Legislature for the

inadequate to pay sums due to the school districts of the state, as pro- 
vided in Sections 3022-3036, inclusive, G. S. 1923, as amended by 
Chapter 412, Laws of 1925, the Board voted, on motion of Mr. Willard, 
to recommend to the State Auditor that he set aside from the Cur- 
rent School Fund the balance remaining therein after the October Ap- 
portionment is paid but not in excess of $400,000, the same to be dis- 
tributed with the Special State Aid Pund. 

On motion of Mr. Hunt, the Commissioner was directed to dis- 
tribute the Special State Aid to High, Graded, Consolidated, Indus-

During the session, the Board met in conference with the Depart- 
ment of Administration and Finance, and discussed informally wiith 
them the question of salaries to be paid during the next biennium to 
the members of the staff. 

The Board discussed at length the salaries to be paid to the mem- 
bers of the Department and agreed on the amounts to be included in 
the biennial budget for this purpose. 

On motion of Mr. Cashman, the Commissioner was directed to pre- 
pare and present to the Department of Administration and Finance, 
the budget requests for the support funds for the various functions of 
the Department, as determined by the Board, and for estimates of the 
amounts needed to meet the terms of the state aid laws, for the ensuing 
biennium. 

Miss Swenson presented an informal report, showing the results of 
Teachers' ELxaminations for Common School Certificates and Renewals 
over the past three years. The summary showed that during the year 
1924, there were issued 3,459 First Grade certificates, 690 Second 
Grade, and 182 Limited; for the year 1925, 3,397 First, 708 Second, 
and 116 Limited; for the year 1926, 3,210 First, 350 Second, and 32 
Limited. 

Mr. Jacobson presented an informal report for the years 1922-1926 
inclusive, showing the gradual reduction in number of schools having 
less than an eight-month term and a teacher holding lower than a 
First Grade Common School Certificate, and proposed an amendment 
to the state aid laws, by which no special aid should be given to schools 
employing a teacher holding lower than a First Grade Common School 
Certificate, or maintaining a term of less than eight months. 

He also proposed that the law giving building aid to consolidated 
school districts be amended to twenty per cent, instead of forty per 
cent, of the cost of construction, the maximum amount, $6,000, re- 
maining as at present. 

To both of these proposals, the Board agreed. 

On motion the Board adjourned.

cation of Disabled Persons; Mr. Everts on Physical and Health Edu- 
cation; Mr. Challman on School Buildings; Miss Baldwin on Libraries; 
and Mr. Morse on the Teachers' Employnaent Buireao. All were ac- 
cepted with approval. 

The Board had under consideration the proper application of that 
part of Section 3030, G. S. 1923, which reads as follows: 

"In school districts maintaining only ungraded elenientairy schools, 
if a twenty (20) mill tax levy does not raise the equivalent of six 

31& 



hundred dollars ($000) for each teacher employed for at least seven 
(7) months during the school year, then the State Board of Education 
at its discretion may grant to such school district an amount which, 
together with the proceeds of a twenty (20) mill tax levy, will give 
such school district the equivalent of six hundred dollars ($600) for 
each teacher employed as herein provided, but such state aid shall in 
no case exceed the equivalent of two hundred dollars ($200) for each 
such teacher employed, but shall be in addition to all other state aid, 
including supplemental aid as otherwise provided in this section." 

After careful consideration of the facts presented, and on the rec- 
ommendation of the Director of Rural Education and the concurrence 
of the Commissioner, the Board, on motion of Mr. Willard, adopted the 
following rule: 

Kule for Awarding Supplemental Aid on a Per Teacher Ba-sis. 

Under Section 3030, G. S, 1923. 
"To any school district maintaining only ungraded elementary 
schools in which the proceeds of a tax levy of 20 mills and the supple- 
mental aid awarded on the basis of the number of pupils who have at- 
tended the public school of such district at least forty days during the 
school year shall not equal $1,000 per teacher employed there shall be 
awarded a sum which, together with the proceeds of a twenty mill tax 
and the supplemental aid on a per pupil basis, shall be equivalent to 
$1,000 per teacher employed; but in no case shall such aid exceed 
$2 00 per teacher employed nor $400 to any district. This rule shall 
be applicable beginning with the school year 1927-28." 

The Board had under consideration the question of additional 
reimbursement for the transportation of pupils in consolidated school 
districts which own and use motor busses for transportation purposes. 
After careful consideration of the facts presented, and on the rec- 
ommendation of the Director, the Board, on motion of Mr. Cashman, 
adopted the following amendment to the rules governing reimburse- 
ment of transportation: 

Rule for Av.ardinji Transportation Keimbni-senient Where 
Distriot Onued Motor Busse.s ,\re Tsed. 
"An allowance of two cents per child-mile-day unit shall be made 
as reimbursement for depreciation and repairs on district owned motor 
busses on routes where such busses are used, provided that the total 
reiniijursement, which the district may receive for transportation shall 
be limited to the maximum rate per child-mile-day unit established." 

The Commissioner presented the classification of state employes 
with salaries authorized by the Commission of Administration and 
Finance. It appeared that the salaries voted by the Board at its quar- 
terly meeting in June were authorized by the Commission's schedule 
except as follows:

The Commissioner reported that following receipt of the Commis- 
sion's ruling, he had presented a salary budget in accordance with the 

317 



amounts authorized. His action in so doing was approved by the 
Board. 

After discussion of the authorizations of the Commission, and on 
motion of Mr. Cashman, the following resolution was adopted: 

That the Commissioner be directed to express to the Commission 
of Administration and Finance the Board's appreciation of the Com- 
mission's action in pei-mitttng, through its classification of state em- 
ployes, the payment of larger salaries in certain positions in the De- 
partment than had heretofore been permitted, but to express the 
Board's regret that the Commission had found itself unable to author- 
ize the full amounts voted by the Board for all of its employes. That 
the Board, after careful reconsideration, in the light of its intimate 
knowledge of the organization of the Department and the qualifications 
and v/ork of its employes, is of the opinion that the salaries originally 
voted are desirable in order that a v.'^ell balanced schedule may be 
maintained throughout. That, accordingly, the Board hopes that the 
Commission may be v/illing, at an early date, to give further considera- 
tion in the case of the salaries voted by the Board for the following 
positions, and which the classification adopted by the Commission does 
not admit: 

Director of Libraries 
Assistant Director of Libraries 
Director Physical Education 
Supervisor of Agricultural Education 
Supervisor of Trade and Industrial Education 
(3) Assistant Director of Re-education 
On motion the Board adjourned.

diploma were recommended by the Commissioner and, on motion of 
^Mr. Boraas, approved: 

Plan I. Completion of the eighth grade in accredited ungraded 

schools — 
Requirements for accrediting ungraded schools: 

1. The school term shall be not less than nine months. Such 
length of term shall have been maintained for at least two 
years preceding the graduation of any class under this pro- 
vision. 

2. The per cent of attendance each year shall be at least 
eighty-five. 

3. The teacher shall be a graduate of the advanced course (two 
years) of a State Teachers College, or possess training ac- 
cepted by the State Department of Education as equivalent, 
and be chosen with the approval of the county superin- 
tendent. Teachers without training in rural education or 
rural teaching experience should not be recommended. In 
schools of two or more teachers, all teachers employed are to 
meet these requirements. 

4. The school shall have adequate text-books, library, equip- 
ment and supplies. 

5. The school shall keep complete and permanent records, and 
pupil records shall also be kept in the office of the county 
superintendent. 

6. State tests are optional with the county superintendent ex- 
cept as the state director may require. 

7. The completion of the eight-year elementary course shall be 
based upon the satisfactory completion of the work as out- 
lined in the Minnesota Curriculum for Elementary Schools. 

X. Application for classification as an accredited ungraded ele- 
mentary school shall be made not later than October 1st of 
the first year for which a school seeks such classification. 

9. Each school shall be subject to special visitation by the 
county superintendent and the State Department of Educa- 
tion. 

324 



Plan II. Completion of the eighth grade in non-accredited schools — 

1. For ungraded elementary schools not accredited as outlined 
in Plan I, completion of the eighth grade shall be determined 
by a system of comprehensive state tests and pupil credits in 
the following subjects: American history, Arithmetic, Geog- 
raphy, Grammar-Composition, Spelling, Citizenship and Hy- 
giene-Sanitation. 

2. For completion of the eighth grade each pupil shall have 
passed in state tests as determined by the State Department 
of Education in at least five of the elementary subjects in 
which state tests are offered, including not less than three of 
the following: American History, Arithmetic, Geography and 
Grammar-Composition. 

3. State tests shall be taken and papers submitted to the State 
Department of Education in American History, Arithmetic 
and Grammar-Composition for pupils completing the eighth 
grade work. Geography and the other subjects may be taken 
in either the seventh or the eighth grade, provided the sub- 
ject matter has been covered as outlined in the Elementary 
Curriculum. 

4. Beginning with the school year 1928-29, state tests will be 
offered in Reading and Writing in addition to those now 
given, after which time each pupil shall be required to earn 
a passing grade in state tests in at least six of the elementary 
subjects in which state tests are offered, including not less 
than four of the following: American History, Arithmetic, 
Geography, Grammar-Composition and Reading. 

5. The completion of the work in the subjects in whicli state 
credits are not earned shall be determined on the basis of 
the pupil's having covered the work in the grade to which 
it belongs as outlined in the Elementary Curriculum. This 
shall be entered upon the pupil's record card and be certi- 
fied by the county superintendent. 

6. A record of each pupil through the sixth, seventh and eighth 
grades, containing the date of birth, attendance, and scholar- 
ship record shall be filed in the office of the county super- 
intendent. 

On the recommendation of the Commissioner and motion of Mr. 
Cashman, it was voted that the county diploma issued on the basis of 
either Plan I or Plan H, as stated above, shall be considered as suffi- 
cient evidence of qualification to entitle the student to be counted for 
state tuition in high schools. 

On recommendation of the Commissioner and motion of Mr. 
Boraas, it was voted that the rule governing the passing mark in State 
Board examinations for pupils be amended to read as follows: 

The passing grade in each subject in the State Board exam- 
aminations shall be determined on the basis of the examination 
returns after a sufficient number of papers in each subject from 
schools in different sections of the state have been examined to 
represent fairly the general results of the examinations through- 
out the state. The passing grade thus established for each sub- 
ject shall be such as to pass approximately the same percentage of 
pupils that ordinarily would pass under normal conditions in a 
standard school giving instruction in such subject. 
On motion of Mr. Willard, the Secretary was directed to cast the 
unanimous ballot for Mr. Hunt as President of the Board for the ensu- 
ing year. 

On motion the Board adjourned.

Mr. Challman presented and explained amendments to the Rules

amendments were approved and the reprinting of the bulletin in such 
numbers as were needed, authorized. 

On the recommendation of the Commissioner and motion of Mr. 
Boraas, it v/as voted that in the bulletin of Standards for Graded Ele- 
mentary and High Schools, August, 1927, pages 41 and 42, Paragraphs 
1, 2 and 3, under the heading, "Payable from State Funds," be omitted 
and the following substitutions be made: 

1. Tuition from state funds may be claimed only by school dis- 
tricts which maintain accredited high school work in high school de- 
partments, in four-year high schools, in the ninth year of junior high 
schools or in senior high schools. Such tuition may be claimed only 
for pupils in so far as the district in which such pupil resides does not 
furnish accredited high school instruction. Such tuition may be 
claimed only for pupils who are residents of this state. Every claim 
for such tuition must be presented to the State Department of Educa- 
tion on blanks provided for that purpose. For pupils first admitted 
to any high school for the school year 1928-29, the application for tui- 
tion from state funds must in every case be accompanied by a certifi- 
cate. Such certificate must meet the following requirements: 

a. Pupils admitted with no high school credits: 

( 1 ) For a pupil from a graded elementary school or from 
an accredited ungraded elementary school, such cer- 
tificate must be signed by the head of such graded 
school or by the superintendent of the county in which 
such ungraded school is located, and must certify to 

32 7 



the completion of the eight years of the State Elemen- 
tary Course of Study and must give both the loocl 
standings in each subject and also any state test stand- 
ings earned. 

(2) For a pupil from a non-accredited ungraded elemen- 
tary school in any county in this state or from any 
private school in this state, the certificate must be 
signed by the superintendent of schools of such county 
or by the head of such private school certifying that 
such pupil has earned pass marks in state tests in at 
least six of the elementary subjects in which state tests 
are given, including not less than four of the follov;'- 
ing: American History, Arithmetic, Geography. Gram- 
mar-Composition and Reading; provided that for the 
school-year 1928-2 9 this requirement shall be for at 
least five pass marks in state tests, including at least 
three from the following: American History, Arith- 
metic, Geography and Grammar-Composition. Such 
certificate must further record the satisfactory comple- 
tion of the remaining subjects of the eighth grade and 
give the standings earned in these subjects. 

(3) For any pupil who does not fall under classes (1) or 
(2), such certificate must be signed by the head of the 
school claiming such tuition and must certify to the 
completion in a satisfactory manner of all the subjects 
of the State Elementary Course of Study and must fur- 
ther certify that the records of the completion of all 
such subjects are on file in the office of the head of the 
school claiming such tuition. 

b. Pupils admitted with one or more high school credits: 

(1) For a pupil whose high school credits were granted by 
any school accredited by the State Department of Edu- 
cation for high school work, the certificate must be 
signed by the head of the school claiming such tuition 
and must certify that such pupil has presented records 
showing the completion of the eight year elementary 
course and also such high school credits as have been 
accepted and that all such records are on file in the 
office of the head of the school claiming such tuition. 

(2) For a pupil whose high school credits were secured 
from a school not accredited by the State Department 
of Education for high school work, such certificate 
must be signed by the head of the school claiming such 
tuition and must certify that such pupil has presented 
records showing the completion of the eight year ele- 
mentary course and also pass marks earned in state 
tests for all high school credits accepted, and that all 
such records are on file in the office of the head of the 
school claiming such tuition. 

The Commissioner reported a conference between the Department 
and the presidents of the six Teachers Colleges held on February 
twentieth, in which the following agreements were reached, subject to 
the approval of the State Board and the concurrence of the Teachers 
College Board: 

It is understood that it is the function of the State Board of Edu- 
cation to establish standards for teachers in the several classifications 
of public schools and to determine the scope of the work to be included 

328 



in their training. It is, tlierefore, its function to fix, in general terms 
at least, the requirements for tlie preparation of teachers to be cer- 
tificated to teach in the different classifications of schools, except in 
so far as these may be indicated in law. 

It is understood that the resolutions of the Teachers College 
Board, authorizing the different courses of study to be offered, indi- 
cate the classifications of schools and fields of work for which these 
courses are intended to prepare teachers. In agreeing to accept courses 
offered or to be offered in the Teachers Colleges as preparation for the 
different fields as indicated below, the Department assumes these to be 
within the present intent of the Teachers College Board. 

Should the Teachers College Board, at a later time, decide to ex- 
tend its policy so as to authorize the training of teachers for the regu- 
lar academic courses of the four year and senior high schools and fur- 
nish the necessary facilities for the same, the Department would ex- 
pect to accept such teachers as qualified in those fields. 

1. The two-year course. It is understood that the two-year 
course is a general course and that the diploma has value in law as a 
general certificate. The State Board of Education accepts it as valid 
to teach in both graded and ungraded elementary schools, and also in 
junior high schools, when at least one-third of the teachers employed 
are four-year graduates. It is valid, also, for principals in graded ele- 
mentary schools. 

The two-year diploma has no special cevtifirate value and the list- 
ing on its face of certain departments and subjects only indicates the 
work that the holder is best qualified to do. As a general certificate, 
it permits the holder to teach music in grades and high .school. This 
diploma should not, however, be regarded as full qualification when 
such work, taught in high school, is to be counted in the sixteen 
credits required for graduation. The two-year diploma is valid also to 
teach physical education, except when more than half of the teacher's 
time is so employed. 

No certificate to teach in any special field is issued on the basis of 
the two-year diploma, except in General Industrial Training Avhen the 
course taken has included the subjects required by the Department. 
This is no longer of importance, since, beginning September, 19 29, a 
four-year course will be required as in Agriculture and Home Eco- 
nomics. 

2. One year of training for rural school teaching. The Depart- 
ment will continue to issue the first grade common school certificate 
to students recommended by the presidents, when they have had one 
year of ti-aining in the Teachers Colleges, including observation and 
practice teaching in rural schools. This certificate is valid in all un- 
graded schools, except accredited and superior schools. 

3. The Four-Year course. The resolutions of the Teachers Col- 
lege Board, passed under date of May 5, 1925, and based on Section 
3066, G. S. 1923, authorizes the Teachers Colleges to offer four-year 
courses in elementary education and directs the colleges to prepare 
suitable courses of study to this end. 

It is understood that the four-year courses, when prepared, will 
qualify teachers to meet the standards set by the State Board of Edu- 
cation in sch.ools of the classifications and in the several fields for 
which they undertake to prepare. 

The State Board of Education will grant certificates on the basis 
of the four-year courses qualifying graduates as: 



(1) Teachers or principals in elementary schools of eitlier the 
six or eight year typo. 

(2) Teachers or principals in junior high schools. This does 
not mean that a person qualified to teach in a junior high 
school is qualified to teach ninth grade in a school organ- 
ized on the 8 — 4 plan. In this connection it may be said 
that the time should not be far distant when all qualifica- 
tions to teach in the junior high school should be standard- 
ized on the basis of a four-year course of training. 

(3) Teachers in high school teacher training departments. 

(4) Supervisors of elementary schools. 

(5) Teachers of physical education. 

(6) Teachers of general industrial training. 
( 7 ) Teachers of music and fine arts. 

At the conference it was agreed that on the recommendation of 
the president, a graduate of the four-year course might, in specific 
instances, be qualified as superintendent of a school which maintains a 
high school department. 

The law establishing high school departments reads in part as 
follows: "The principal (superintendent) may be one of the high 
school teachers, if fully qualified to teach high school subjects." A 
graduate of the four-year course in a Teachers College is not "fully 
qualified to teach high school subjects." There is a question, there- 
fore, whether this proposition can stand, since in these small schools 
the superintendent must ordinarily teach high school subjects. 

When a graduate of a four-year course in a State Teachers Col- 
lege has obtained a Master's degree from the University of Minnesota 
or other institution of similar rank, in a subject related to the sec- 
ondary or to the general field of public school education, he v/ill be 
considered as possessing general qualifications as regards scholarship 
and training throughout the elementary and secondary fields, except 
for specific subjects Vi^hich may be required for certain positions, as 
superintendent and principal, and which may not have been included 
in the courses taken. 

4. It was agreed that the certificate laws of the state ought to be 
redrafted along lines that would vest all certification as an adminis- 
trative matter in the Department of Education. 

On motion of Mr. Willard, seconded by Mr. Boraas, the terms of 
the agreement, as stated, were approved and the policy expressed 
concurred in. 

At the suggestion of the Commissioner, and on motion of Mr. 
Willard, it was voted to extend an invitation to the U. S. Commis- 
sioner of Education and the State Commissioners and Superintendents 
of the several states, with their wives, to be the guests of the Depart- 
ment of Education on the occasion of the meeting of the National 
Education Association in Minneapolis about July 1, 1928, under such 
plan as may be arranged. 



On motion, the Board adjourned.

January 28, 1929 

The State Board of Education held a special meeting, called by the 
Secretary, in the Conference Room of the Department of Education at 
11:00 a.m., Monday, January 28th. The purpose of the meeting was 
to consider certain matters presented or likely to appear in the legis- 
lature at its current session. The following members v/ere present: 
Mr. J. W. Hunt, President, Mr. Julius Boraas, Mr. Thomas E. Cashman 
and Mr. W. D. Willard Mrs. Musser was absent. 

The Board examined and discussed at length the bill for a new 
Teachers' License (certificate) Law prepared in the Department and 
introduced in the Legislature as Senate File No. 9 7 and House File No. 
106. It was the opinion, expressed without formal action, that the bill 
was sound, and its passage should be urged without essential 
amendment. 

The Commissioner read the resolution adopted by the Teachers 
College Board at its meeting on December 4, 1928, authorizing the 
training of high school teachers and explained the issues involved. 
The Board discussed the matter, but expressed no opinion regarding 
the question, as one belonging to the Teachers College Board. 

The Commissioner stated that certain issues had arisen and 
seemed likely to appear in some form in the Legislature regarding the 
policy of the Department relative to high school work in small schools. 
The particular issues presented were: 

1. That of accrediting as a high school department a school which 
employed five teachers (the minimum required by law), but Avhich 
lacked necessary room and facilities required by the standards adopted 
by the Board. The case in question was that of the school at Lowry 
which, according to reports of three of the Department's directors who 
had visited within three or four years, was lacking in these respects, 
but was persistent in its demands for accrediting. 

2. That of the rule adopted by the Board at the annual meeting in 
August, 1928, providing that high school departments employing fewer 
than three high school teachers should not, after the current year, be 
accredited for more than three years of high school work. 

It appeared that certain schools affected were protesting the appli- 
cation of the rule. 

After full consideration, the Board was of the opinion that the 
policy of vequiring reasonable standards for high school work was 
sound and that the provisions established with reference to the schools 
in question should be adhered to. 

344 



Mr. Jacobson presented certain curative measures to be presented 
to the Legislature affecting rural and consolidated schools as follows: 

1. Amend Section 2755, G. S. 1923, so as to clarify the meaning 
when a district having twelve sections of laud applies for and becomes 
entitled to the rights and privileges of a consolidated school district 
by action of its school board and without a vote of the people. 

2. Amend Section 2757, G. S. 1923, to provide that land added 
to a consolidated district does not become subject to levy for existing 
bonds. 

3. Amend Subdivision (3) of Section 3029, G. S. 1923, to read 
as follows: 

"For each ungraded elementary school employing a teacher hold- 
ing a first grade certificate with a school year of at least nine months, 
the state shall pay a school district one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00), 
and with a school year of eight months, one hundred dollars ($100.00) 
for each teacher employed, holding a first grade certificate; provided 
that the total of such aid for an ungraded elementary school shall 
in no case exceed three hundred dollars ($300.00). 

The Board approved the proposals made. 
The Commissioner called attention to a measure recommended by 
the Minnesota Reforestation Commission, the title of which reads as 
follows: "A Bill for an Act Providing that All Expenses Incurred by 
the State in Connection with the Management, Operation, and Care of 
State School Forests or other State Forests Established or Operated 
under Laws Passed Pursuant to Section 7 of Article 8 of the State 
Constitution, Including All Expenses Incurred in Connection with the 
Cutting and Sale of Timber from Such Lands, Shall be Paid from the 
Proceeds of the Sale of Timber or Forest Products Taken from Such 
Lands." 

It was the opinion of the Board that the bill, unless more carefully 
safeguarded than in its present form might open the way for en- 
croachment on the school trust funds and was therefore dangerous. 
It was deemed unwise and unnecessary to enter any formal protest 
against it, since it was believed that necessary limitations would be 
provided before final enactment. 

On motion, the Board adjourned. 

J. M. McCONNELL, Secretary.

Re-education contracts for the last quarter, since the annual 
meeting, were, on motion of Mr. Cashman, approved, those for the 
first part of the quarter having been approved at the annual meeting. 

On recommendation of tlie Commissioner and motion of Mr. 
Boraas, the following resolution amending the rule governing reim- 
bursement for teacher training was adopted: 

Resolved, that the following provision be added to Table C, Page 
29, StaJidards for Teacher Trainings Departments: 

"Provided that for a teacher who holds, in addition, an M.A. 
Degree in Education, the initial reimbursement shall be $1,850.00, 
instead of $1,700.00." 

On recommendation of the Commissioner and motion of Mr. 

Willard, the amendment of Paragraph 1, Evening School Rules, as 

adopted under date of August 5, 1924, was amended to read as 
follows: 

"Aid will be granted for an evening school term of not less than 
six weeks of six hours per v-eek, and for a term of not more than 
twenty-four weeks of six hours per week, or the equivalents." 

The Commissioner reported that, under date of July 17th, com- 
plaint, supported by affidavits, was filed by the School Board at West 
Concord against C. V. Schofield, charging immoral conduct and re- 
questing revocation of his certificate. 

Within five days thereafter, as required by law, a copy of com- 
plaint was served on Mr. Schofield by registered mail, and no reply 
was received. The afiidavits furnished by the school board, and also 
documentary evidence relating to a previous offense said to have been 
committed while Mr. Schofield was employed in the school at Wahkon, 
were on file, and in the opinion of the Commissioner amply justified 
the revocation of the certificate. He recommended, therefore, that the 
First Grade Professional Certificate issued for life to C. V. Schofield 
under date of August 1, 19 21, be revoked on the ground of immoral 
conduct, revocation to be effective at once. 

On motion of Mr. Cashman, the recommendation was adopted 
and the certificate revoked.

cedure in cases of suspension or revocation of certificates under

375 



Resolved, that when complaint has been made by a school board 
or by a county superintendent against any teacher, in accordance 
with Section 11, Chapter 388, General Laws of 1929, and when the 
other provisions therein contained have been complied with, the 
hearing shall be conducted by the Commissioner or the Deputy Com- 
missioner, as the former may designate. When the complaint has 
been made by the Commissioner, the hearing shall be conducted by 
the President of the Board, unless otherwise provided by the Board 
in a given case. 

On motion of Mr. Cashman, the Commissioner was directed to 
make the semi-annual distribution of the Endowment and Current 
School Funds (October Apportionment) as provided under Sections 
3023-3024, G. S. 1923, after the sum of $500,000.00 has been withheld

the invitation, also, to tlie absent members of the Board. 

On motion of Dr. Boraas, the Commissioner was directed to have 
prepared a suitable resolution to be presented. The resolution, so 
prepared, is as follows: 

Memoiial to Dr. William Watts Folwell 

When, in 1869, Dr. Folwell came to the presidency of the Univer- 
sity of Minnesota, the public schools of the state were practically 
without organization or standards. The few private secondary schools 
were devoted to college preparation and reached but a limited and 
select group. A few large towns were maintaining public high schools 
and, in these, the curriculum was indefinite, the equipment scant, and 
the instructorship unskilled. The University was of necessity sup- 
porting its own preparatory school. By his own untiring efforts, 
backed by such adherents as his strong, intelligent leadership attracted, 
Dr. I'^olwell succeeded, in 18 78, in securing from the Igislature the 
passage of a bill which he himself drafted, providing for state assist- 
ance in the support of public high schools, the establishment of stand- 
ards through state inspection and the free admission to these schools 
of any properly qualified resident of the state. Under the beneficent 
stimulation of this initial law, high schools increased in both number 
and efficiency, the University was soon able to discontinue its own 
preparatory school and college entr?lnce was placed within the reach 
of young men and women in all sections of the state. This principle 
of state support of public high schools has been extended down through 
the intervening years until today more than four hundred commu- 
nities maintain four-year accredited secondary schools, enrolling ninety 
thousand pupils, employing four thousand well qualified teachers and 
graduating each year fifteen thousand pupils. Fifteen thousand high 
school pupils come annually from farm homes not located in high 
school districts. 

Therefore, Be it Resolved That, in the death of Dr. William Watts 
Folwell, the State of Minnesota has lost one of its truly great men; 
great in vision, in sound scholarship, in strong leadership and in 
those qualities of mind and heart which are idealized in American life. 
We are grateful for the long span of his life, full to the very end of 
courage, activity and the spirit of service. Especially would we, as 
the official representatives of the interests of public education in this 
state, express for those interests our debt of gratitude for that far- 
sighted conception of his which gave us our present efficient and 
universal system of public high schools, opening its door of opportunity 
to every ambitious boy and girl in the most remote and isolated home. 

It is ordered that this Resolution be spread upon the minutes 
of this Board and that a copy be forwarded to the immediate family 
of Dr. Folwell. 

The Commissioner reported informally on the meeting at New 
Orleans of the American Vocational Association which he attended, 
and also on the meeting of State Superintendents and Commissioners 
of Education in Washington. 

Mr. Berning reported informally preliminary steps in the study 
of attendance and costs in the rural schools with low enrollment. 

On motion the Board adjourned. 

J. M. McCONNELL, Secretary.
